July Class III Milk

July class III milk continues to slide and has negated the remaining unmet upside PriceCount near 23 cents (not shown for presentation purposes) with the trade below the late April reactionary low. At this point, the chart would need to violate the contract low before it could take aim at the third downside count to the 16.89 area.

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend.

IMPORTANT RISK DISCLOSURE

Futures trading is complex and carries the risk of substantial losses. It is not suitable for all investors. The ability to withstand losses and to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can adversely affect investor returns.

The returns for trading systems listed throughout this website are hypothetical in that they represent returns in a model account. The model account rises or falls by the average single contract profit and loss achieved by clients trading actual money pursuant to the listed system’s trading signals on the appropriate dates (client fills), or if no actual client profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by the system’s trading signals on that day in real time (real-time) less slippage, or if no real time profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by running the system logic backwards on backadjusted data (backadjusted).

Please read carefully the CFTC required disclaimer regarding hypothetical results below. HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW.

NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN; IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

FOMC Wednesday, E Mini S&P; Your 2 Important Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on June 18th, 2025

FOMC Tomorrow!

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

fomc

FOMC

Tomorrow, we have FOMC with rate decision at 1 PM Central and statement at 1:30 pm Central.

Trading stock index futures on FOMC days calls for a measured, highly selective approach. The market tends to drift into a low volume “vacuum” in the hours leading up to the announcement, where exaggerated price moves can occur without conviction. This is not the time to force entries—no trade is better than a bad trade.

It’s critical to anticipate these zigzag patterns and avoid being lured into false signals. Reducing trading size is one of the smartest ways to manage risk on these days—volatility spikes can magnify both gains and losses, and scaling down helps preserve capital and composure.

Once the FOMC statement hits the wire, the real storm begins. Price action can whipsaw violently as traders digest the language and implications for interest rates. This is when patience pays off. Choosing entry points wisely—often by waiting for post-announcement patterns to stabilize—can mean the difference between catching a favorable trend and getting caught in the chop.

Discipline is everything: tight setups, controlled size, and a willingness to sit on your hands if conditions aren’t ideal can make all the difference. The FOMC isn’t a lottery—it’s a test of focus and restraint.

Sept. Mini SP 500

The September Emini S&P satisfied its first upside PriceCount objective last month and is consolidating with a sideways trade. At this point, IF the chart can resume its rally, it would have to contend with contract highs before it could potentially take aim at the second count to the 6480 area.

Iran

Equity Rollover, FOMC, Juneteenth Holiday and the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere!

Rollover

Roll the Equity Index contracts to September (U) for Monday trading.

Roll your equity index contracts to September (U) e.g., ESU25 or EPU25, also this week, due to the Juneteenth holiday, some markets will have reduced hours and others will be closed.

Reduced hours include the Equities, Metals, Energies. Since Juneteenth falls on a Thursday, the regularly scheduled EIA Weekly Natural Gas storage report will be released a day earlier: Wed. at the same time as the FOMC rate announcement. 1PM CT.

Remember that current market drivers for Equities are hard data on Jobs, Inflation, Trump tweets and Geopolitics, clearly the Israel/Iran conflict jumps to the top of the list here.

Continued volatility to come as next week all markets will be reacting to whatever comes out of the Israel/Iran conflict, The FRB, U.S. Govt leadership relating to conflicts cessation and trade deals.

Therefore, increased volatility expectations with periodic choppiness as the administration Vs the Courts seem to also be in the middle innings of their tariff battle.

August Unleaded

August unleaded gasoline accelerated to the topside and satisfied the first upside PriceCount objective. It would be normal to get a near term reaction from this level in the form of a consolidation or corrective trade. IF the chart can sustain further strength, the second count would project a possible run to the 2.40 area which would represent a new contract high.

Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment

Prelim UoM Inflation Expectations

Source University of Michigan (latest release)

Measures Percentage that consumers expect the price of goods and services to change during the next 12 months;

Usual Effect ‘Actual’ greater than ‘Forecast’ is good for currency;

Frequency Released monthly, around the middle of the current month;

Next Release Jul 18, 2025

FF Notes There are 2 versions of this data released 14 days apart – Preliminary and Revised. The Preliminary release is the earlier and thus tends to have the most impact;

Why Traders Care Expectations of future inflation can manifest into real inflation, primarily because workers tend to push for higher wages when they believe prices will rise;

Derived Via Survey of about 420 consumers which asks respondents where they expect prices to be 12 months in the future

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk. Learn more at www.qtchartoftheday.com

Trading in futures, options, securities, derivatives or OTC products entails significant risks which must be understood prior to trading and may not be appropriate for all investors. Past performance of actual trades or strategies is not necessarily indicative of future results.

CPI, Crude Oil, July Heating Oil, Soybeans; Your 4 Important Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on June 12th, 2025

CPI Came and Gone

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

cpi

General:

Consumer Price Index (CPI)

May’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed inflation pressures eased on a monthly basis despite investor concerns that President Trump’s tariffs would accelerate the pace of price increases.

The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 0.1% month over month, below April’s 0.2% rise and lower than economists’ estimates of a 0.2% monthly gain in prices.

Energies:

Crude Oil

West Texas crude oil futures rallied to pre-“Liberation Day” levels as the U.S. and China tentatively reached a trade agreement. More consequentially, doubts grew that the U.S. and Iran were close to reaching a nuclear deal.

President Trump said he was losing confidence that a nuclear deal would be agreed upon, and Iran’s defense minister said his country would target U.S. military bases in the region if conflict broke out with the United States.

Amid those threats, the United States is evacuating diplomatic personnel from Iraq, a State Department official told the Middle East independent news Al-Monitor this afternoon.

Momentum likely also drew from this morning’s EIA’s report of a bigger-than-expected 3.6-million-barrel draw in U.S. crude stocks.

Grains:

Soybean, Corn

Conversely, Chicago Board of Trade soybean and corn futures drifted lower into the close of trading as uncertainty grew on a lack of specifics about agricultural goods in the framework of those same U.S. / China trade negotiations. China is the world’s biggest soybean importer, while the U.S. is the No. 2 exporter of the oilseed.

July Heating Oil

 

July heating oil is attempting to break out above the May high and resume its rally. New sustained highs would project a possible run to the first upside PriceCount objective to the 2.29 area. This target is consistent with a challenge of the April high and gap objective.

Win the Inside Game! July Crude Oil, June Strawberry; Your 3 Important Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on June 11th, 2025

Win the Inside Game!

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

Win the Inside Game, Crude Oil

June’s Strawberry Moon (full) will not appear this low again until 2043

CPI and insight from a long-distance running coach.

I recently listened to a podcast where a long-distance running coach was interviewed, He has written a book “Win the Inside Game”, his name is Steve Magness and he writes about the psychology of winning and losing, training the mind to overcome your physiological responses to self-doubt, losing and overcoming your own mental short comings.

They certainly apply to our sport, trading.

There are many parallels between trading and competing in a sport, in fact, when I was on the exchange floors, many members were retired professional athletes.

What stuck out to me about the similarities between, sport and craft was we all respond to EXTERNAL triggers. Mr. Magness writes (I am paraphrasing)

“in Fight or Flight responses, for athletes, cortisol is a hormone your adrenal glands release when he or she loses an event, game, championship, or simply when they can’t reach a training goal. When the same athlete, wins a contest or reaches goals, testosterone is released.

“Men and Women have plenty of both and these hormones and when they are released, change your thinking therefore, your decision making. Unfortunately, the body can also overreact to stressors that are not life-threatening, such as traffic jams, work pressure, losing trades.”

The take away for me is after each trade, allow your body to return to a level of equanimity before you take your next trade. Keep your emotions in check.

Choose your opportunities wisely. Prepare for shocks, on inflation soft and hard data, Tomorrow we have a big number Consumer Price Index CPI pre cash market opening.

The Stock market will continue to reveal the battle between Push-Pull inflation with Tariff uncertainty through price action.

Tomorrow:

Econ Data:   CPI

FED Speak: BlackOut Period

Earnings: Quiet

July Crude Oil

July crude oil made its low in April after it completed its fourth downside PriceCount objective. The low was tested and held; leading to the recent sideways range of trade. Now, the chart has broken out to the topside and activated upside counts with a first objective that projects a potential run to the $71 area.

Fist Notice and Last Trading Dates for June.

first notice

Today was one of the lowest volume days I’ve seen in the mini-SP (ES or EP) contract in 2025!

Perhaps summertime and waiting for news?

But as a trader, especially a day trader, note that recently we have seen more choppy, lower volume days than strong trending days.

Below are the contracts which are entering First Notice or Last Trading Day for June.

Be advised, for contracts that are deliverable, it is requested that all LONG positions be exited two days prior to…
